ARUA Center of Excellence for Non-Communicable Diseases - Mini-Grants 2020-2021

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) through the Global Challenges Research Fund has awarded the University of Nairobi on behalf of the ARUA Center of Excellence for Non-Communicable Diseases (ACE-NCD) a capacity building grant. Part of the funds is to provide mini-grants in support of scoping studies and pilot studies that lead to strengthening research collaboration among researchers in the ACE-NCD universities, and strengthen proposals submitted by ACE-NCD teams to conduct cutting-edge research that addresses one of the thematic areas listed below. Under this call activities must be undertaken and funds must be spent before March 31, 2021.

ACE NCD Universities are the Makerere University, University of Ghana, University of Ibadan, University of Nairobi, and University of the Witwatersrand.

Example activities include focused research workshops to develop sustainable strategies and partnerships for future activities, with clearly identified outcomes; preliminary data collection, analysis or research-focused proof of concept.

It is expected that the outcomes of mini-grant activities will inform more substantive funded research into and impact on addressing NCDs in Africa. https://uonresearch.org/acencdminigrant/
